After the long weekend I will have a bit more time to ride.
I was up north at the cottage for the weekend. Tons of bikes passing through on the 327. I saw at least 6 Nomads, 1 voyager and 1 vaquero. The rest were wings, sport bikes and lots of those noisy American made bikes.

Coming home by way of Hawksbury, there is a big Harley dealer, so there is always lots of bikes cruising around. Coming toward me was a Harley with a bat wing and something furry jumping around behind the windshield. I was puzzled, at first I thought the guy had a small dog up there, then it looked like a bushy tailed squirrel attacking his face (something like in national lampoon's Christmas), finally as we closed in I realized the guy had a zz top beard and it was so long it was being blown all around his face from the up draft. I don't know how he could see, and Ithought I would have to pull over I was laughing so hard.

Thumbs Up

I try to get a long ride in at least once a week. Last Tuesday, did the Mont Tremblant route, headed to Mt-Laurier, then down the 309 to Bowman Lake. BBQ at a cottage then headed home the next day. Today, 2 of my friends & I are doing about 450 kil. run down the 31 to the 2 heading to Kingston & returning using 15 to the 7 towards Perth, then Carleton Place towards Ottawa, cross bridge to Aylmer Que. :)
Life is good!

Lucky you Guy, have a safe ride.
My problem is I have too many pass times that have turned into just work, don't know what I did when I held down a full time job.
